keep going

Singer K. Michelle in 2010

Wow, how time flies right? My kids are teens now and life is just moving along! I was moving some of my old files to my hard drive when I came across some old images and said, “hey she looks very familiar”, then it all came back to me, this is singer K.Michelle toned down just three years ago, a lot has changed since then!

I was invited out to an appreciation dinner put on by event planner Jamahl King in 2010. His special musical guest was non other than singer K. Michelle. I didn’t pay her one bit of attention but snapped these pictures of her. People that were gathered at the event didn’t really feel her either. I remember people chattering during her performance and I still can’t tell yah today what she sang at the party. The reason I bring all of this up is because I received an email early this morning. In the email a young lady asked me how do I keep going, plus I always looks so happy.

I will be the first to say that it’s not easy always trying to be so cheerful! I get depressed and stressed out just like everyone else does. Especially around the holiday season. My childhood was not the greatest, I don’t know my father and so much more but I look at my family everyday and they keep me going!

That’s exactly what K. Michelle did. Although people didn’t really pay her that much attention a few years ago, she had perseverance and she kept it moving! Now look at her just three years later. She’s on a top rated reality show, she has won numerous awards, she’s on tour and she has a best-selling album. See you just never what God has in store for you if you just keep your eye on the prize and keep going! Life is extremely tough but you have to be tougher, keep God first, pray, think positive, surround yourself with good people and someone will see that and give you the shine you deserve, keep going! Till next time! xoxo
